The flea market on Big Pine has
gotten totally out of control; it draws nothing but rude and obnoxious
people. They go into a frenzy to buy nothing. I've watched it for the
last 7 years, up close and personal having worked on Saturdays in the
buildings around it. If it wasn't for the few close friends that I
have working there, that need the money, it should be shut down. Some
locals like the produce. Does anyone care to comment on the tax
exemption of the owner or is that not true? |

I’m leery of
everything involving a republican government because in the late
sixties we caught a government plant at one of our anti-Nixion
meetings who was trying to constantly disrupt our proceedings. Beware

Talk about
brainwashed. Why do the Amish kids stay on the farm when they surely
must be coveting Nintendo, Dell and BMW. “...how you gonna’ keep ‘em
down on the farm, when they’ve seen ol’ gay Pariee?” The Amish are a
cult. How come there aren't "cult busters" out there trying to rescue
the inmates? |

Far be it from me to begrudge those less
fortunate, however, it galls me every time I drive past our new
Habitat Landing and see all of the nice shiny, new vehicles.
Both adults in my household work hard (a total of 3 jobs) and I doubt
I will ever be able to afford what our less fortunate citizens can
enjoy. And this morning I overheard a conversation of one of the
new owners complaining that they are not allowed to park their boats
under the house. How sad for them. And our terrible unjust
government won't let them use the land that was set aside for a park
as a boat storage. I just couldn't believe it!!! |

Bush is responsible for signing
foreign trade agreements as well as blowing the door off the hinges at
the Mexican border. Limiting foreign trade or taxing such is the right
thing to do. Not Bush! Gas is $2 per gallon. Cubans have taken over
south Florida. Illegals use more teachers, get free school lunch, food
stamps, free medical. Illegals work under the table- pay no taxes,
take American jobs. Domino effect. Now Medicaid is cut 1.5 billion,
leaving elderly sick Americans without meds- yet Bush sent 10 billion
to Iraq! Bush= loser, at OUR expense. |

The school board
of Key West shouldn’t be allowed to select their superintendent
because they’re just five bubbas sitting around and will select
whoever toddies to them. All superintendents of schools should be

No other president has ever had a
direct attack on American soil by other than an American and
if you check the records, the jobs lost were a direct reflection of
those attacks. Why not ask the businesses that abruptly stopped
the work why they let it happen?
Why not ask those same businesses why
they sent and are still sending American high tech jobs to other
countries... I don't agree with everything President Bush has done
but he is not totally responsible for all that ails America.
In case any of you think of Japans
attack on Pearl Harbor, don't, Hawaii was not a state at the time.

Where does the
extra money go when our local elected officials don’t spend it on
their election campaign? Do they keep it? If an incumbent commissioner
raises $35,000 and is un-opposed in his bid for re-election; he’d
probably spend just a few thousand of it, wouldn’t he, just to look
good. So, where’s the rest of the money go? I see this happening
frequently in local elections. |

Bush far from worst President in History.
Liberals claim President Bush shouldn't have started this war.
They complain about his prosecution of it. One liberal
recently claimed Bush was the worst president in U.S. history.
Let's clear up one point: We didn't start the war on terror.
Try to remember, it was started by terrorist BEFORE 9/11.
Let's look at the "worst" president and mismanagement claims.
FDR led us into World War II. Germany never attacked us Japan
did. From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost, an average of
112,500 per year.
Truman finished that war and started on in Korea, North Korea never
attacked us. From 1950-1953, 55,000 lives were lost, an
average of 18,333 per year.
John F. Kennedy started the Vietnam conflict in 1962. Vietnam
never attacked us.
Johnson turned Vietnam into a quagmire. From 1965-1975, 58,000
lives were lost, an average of 5,800 per year.
Clinton went to war in Bosnia without UN or French consent, Bosnia
never attacked us. He was offered Osama bin Laden's head on a
platter three times by Sudan and did nothing. Osama has
attacked us on multiple occasions.
In the two years since terrorist attacked us, President Bush has
liberated two countries, crushed the Taliban, crippled al-Qaida, put
nuclear inspectors in Lybia, Iran, and North Korea without firing a
shot, and captured a terrorist who slaughtered 300,000 of his own
people. We lost 600 soldiers, an average of 300 per year.
Bush did all this abroad while not allowing another terrorist attack
at home.
Worst President in history? Come On!
By the way, for those who haven't studied these facts in the public
school systems, all these other guys were Democrats.

My
family and I had the opportunity to eat at No Name Pub a few
weeks back. We had heard so much about it. Boy what a let down. This
was some of the worst pizza I have ever had. The crust was soggy and
the cheese was full of grease.
There
was a comment about Pizza Works and how the quality was based
on who was cooking. I love how the place was cleaned up, but I agree
about the inconsistency comment. Still need to keep the staff from
smoking in the kitchen area.
Big
Pine Cafe. Love it!
Cracked
Egg. Rude
Robs.
Like the home style cooking and low prices.
KD's..
Have heard too many rumors about what the menu says and what you are
actually getting. Not that they are using anything they shouldn't,
but rather listing one level of quality and giving you another.

Is Ralph Nadar trying to
loose the Election for the Democrats again? He surely did it the last
time. This country shouldn’t have too many political parties because
they all erode each other’s base. That’s why the third world’s

parties. |

If you had bought
$1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now
be worth $49.00. With Enron, you would have $16.50 of the
original
$1,000.00. With Worldcom, you would have less than $5.00 left.
If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser (the beer, not
the stock) one
year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the 10 cent
deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above information, my
current
investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle. This is my new
retirement
program. I call it my 401Keg plan |

An example of the fine and fare politics at work in
Monroe County is Sea Camp. As difficult as it is for the rest
of us to get building permits for new construction, Sea Camp seems to
have been able to impress the building department to such a degree
they ignore the two ugly cesspits that are currently in use on that
property. While Sea Camp continues to expand their facility under the
guise of environmentally concerned, children and community oriented
marine conservationists, educators and enthusiasts, their excrement
infested cesspits continue to leach raw sewage into the water table
unchecked. Cesspits are illegal. They pollute. To get a building
permit, the rest of us must get a cesspit credit first. In other
words, we fund the replacement of someone else's cesspit with a state
of the art, environmentally sound system. And then, when we finally
get to build, we fund our own with same. Little is known exactly what
goes on at Sea Camp behind their gates. Few if any are allowed to
venture there, and for good reason. I'll say no more... |

More on the big pine restaurant debate. The only
pizza worth anything here on Big Pine Key is Big Pine Pizza.
Home made crust . Very consistent food, at least every time I get
food from there, it's consistent. No Name has been living on
it's reputation from 20 years ago when it was the ONLY Pizza place
here on Big Pine. Pizzaworks can be very good or very bad,
depends on who's cooking. How about Big Pine Restaurant's ribs?
They're great. Conch and Stein. Slow and I have a
problem when somebody says slow rotated prime rib and you get a rib
eye steak cooked under a broiler. To me that's a steak not a piece
of prime rib. I'm not impressed with Robs either. Nothing I
can't do at home way cheaper and quieter.

comment to feb. 11 regarding Square Grouper...
The owners (Doug and Lynn Bell) have lived here forever and worked
hard for years. Doug has the only electrical business worth anything
here in the middle keys and has developed a great, hard and honestly
earned reputation by sweating his butt off. Please don't start any
unfounded rumors. Maybe the name was to remind us of those free
spirited days when square groupers were something everybody looked
for but very few ever found? I know the mane brought up fond
memories of trudging through the muddy flats and getting stuck in
the mud.

A response to the person that commented about the "Olde
Road Cafe" on the 19th. You claiming to know what all the locals
feel about a restaurant... How long have you lived here to claim
yourself a local. 3 months, one year? Please don't go off spouting
about what the locals think here in the Keys because truthfully, if
you put two locals here together in a room, you would probably get
three different opinions on any given matter. This is one of the
wonderful things about the Keys. The one consistency with long term
locals is that everybody's opinion is different. You know so much
about the Keys that you don't even know the name of a restaurant
that has been in operation for years. Even though long term
residents call every establishment by the previous name, that
doesn't mean we don't know what the current name of every
establishment is.

I agree with the person talking about the ugly greasy
spoon restaurants we have around here, but I have to say that I'm
seeing a new change coming. I have seen a wonderful change in the
Big Pine Coffee Shop (by the post office), since the new
owners took over a couple of years ago. Wonderful food, reasonable
prices...they offer sweet potatoes as one of the potato choices in
the evenings and have FAT FREE dressings for salads, which seems to
be impossible to get in most restaurants.
I find The Square Grouper to be excellent too,
and I have just recently tried Rob's several times and have
been very satisfied every time, other than the acoustics are lousy.
I've heard the new Parrotdise (probably spelled it
wrong...formerly the Sand Bar) is also excellent but haven't tried
yet...pitiful name choice, though.
Coco's Kitchen is still one of the
best...consistently good food, very reasonable prices. Coco rocks!
All of these restaurants are very clean...at least,
so far. Let's hope the rest of the restaurants take note and follow
their examples. Some of the restaurants you mentioned I will not
step foot in because of the filth.

Years ago, No Name Pub had a reputation for
great pizza with relatively successful attempts at gourmet and
specialty pizzas as well. However, the operative word here is "had".
Just as Pizza Works, Robs, the former KD's, Boondocks and so
many of the local establishments so indiscriminately mentioned in this
forum, No Name Pub too has joined the ranks of the ugly greasy spoon
and the dreadfully dreary sports bar, serving up lousy food unfit to
eat for painfully high prices. The old dollar bills hanging off the
ceilings and walls are, well--old and do no more than add to the
ubiquitous kitsch and the tacky hoi polloi that seems to prevail in
Big Pine eateries. |
|

Now lets talk about the Olde Road Cafe, the only
restaurant I've ever known to succeed purely on the whims of the
owners. Yes, they're open only during tourist and snowbird season, and
only three nights a week. However, their food is consistently
excellent, the portions are generous but not overpowering with an
emphasis on a wide variety of well seasoned fresh vegetables and fresh
local fish. The faire communicates it's creators' love of culinary
excellence and presentation. But having to wait for the dreaded hoards
to arrive, and then competing with them for space on US1 somehow
diminishes whatever pleasure could be derived from a potentially
wonderful experience. |

Why do gays and lesbians need a marriage? A
legally binding contract is all that is needed to cover insurance,

To the non bible thumper, I agree that children need
better examples of how to conduct themselves. But, the majority of
children are brought up by heterosexual parents (if they are lucky
to have two of them together) and there is a significant amount of
heterosexuals raising children that are VERY bad examples. Whether
you want to admit it or not, homosexuality is not a choice,
and children of the world need to be taught love not hate. Your
parents "era" of growing up was different from yours, as your
children's will be different from yours and so on. Remember that
were not asking YOU to get married to a homosexual, we just want the
option. And, this does equate to civil rights, if you feel it
isn't, then you are more prejudice than you realize. How is this
different from Rosa Parks not being able to sit in the front of the
bus?

Back to the Pizza discussion. So what's up with No
Name Pub's pizza? It seems every time I go there and order a
pizza my pizza comes out not fully cooked. Ever try the wings? Same
story. It used to be a place to get great pizza and wings. Anybody
else have the same problem? How about taking some of those dollars
off the walls and pay for some quality control. |

To the individual that wrote in Sunday the 15th about
Gay Marriages. How can you equate those marriages with civil rights?
There is nothing natural or decent about same sex marriages. I am not

need better examples on how they should conduct themselves. |

The restaurant on Cudjoe Key next
to Coco’s Cantina is only open during prime time. Locals resent that.
A restaurant should always be opened. When I'm hungry I want to eat. I
don't have to think if today's the day their open. They teach that in
all restaurant classes. People won’t change their eating patterns to
accommodate the restaurant. I won’t support a restaurant what only
opens during the good times while others serve the community during
good and bad seasons. Support their employees year round and support
the community. |

On the comment about Waste Management. That
chair has nothing on my old dishwasher that sat out by the road for
4 months . I finally got tired of calling them and looking at it and
drug it into the middle of the bike path hoping they would get the
hint , but it still took another month. Is this the lousy service I
pay for? The county needs a code enforcer on Waste Management like
the city of Key West does. Her job is to make sure they do there job
promptly and to not use your can lids as a Frisbees.

To the person opposed to gay marriages but not
gay unions...were you also opposed to black people using white
people's public bathroom's, but not opposed to them having their own
bathrooms? Did you also agree with the laws and traditions that
women should not be able to vote? Not all "traditions" that were
developed from our history, are appropriate for today's changing
world. Adhering to tradition is a great thing, it's comfortable.
But let's not mask inequality or oppression inside of tradition.
Love is the best emotion we have as a species, it is not biased.
Inter-racial marriages, used to be outside of tradition as well, and
illegal. Try to think outside the box, and thanks for your
"support".

I’m against gay “marriages” and
for gay “unions”. It’s the word “marriage” that gets my attention.
A marriage has always been between a male and a female. Just because
some straight people take this view doesn’t mean that we’re
homophobic, far from it. Many of us don’t think Gaydom is wrong or
harmful, but we don’t want to change a tradition. I think that gay
civil rights will be satisfied with the respectful phrase “gay union”. |

I ate in a sushi restaurant in LA
recently that had absolutely no ambiance, yet it was the best sushi
I’ve ever had. They were so focused on the freshness of their fish
that they closed on the weekend (restaurants’ busiest time) because
the fish markets weren’t open. The rice was served warm! There was no
menu. They just brought out different stuff until you were stuffed.
Because of their lack of menu; on their chop stick wrapper it said
“SHSUI Delicate snowflakes rest on warm, sweet rice beds--flavors
intertwined. Translucent Jewel-(sliced) natural perfection-Slide into
my mouth. TRUST ME!”
I’m getting hungry again. Needless to say, the place was full of
Japanese customers. |

Yup, Capt. Dan & the crew at the Key Deer
Bar & Grill are one big family. and, like all family's are happy
& work well together most of the time, but on occasion someone will
holler. I guess I got over zealous & got caught. Please excuse me
for that. I luv my crew & appreciate the constructive criticism from
my friends and customers.
Item 2:
Pizza. At the Key Deer we make fresh dough
every day. Approximately 35 lbs. We allow it to rise for the proper
amount of time, which is very important. my kitchen staff are all
"into" what their doing. We have freshly prepared toppings each day.
We have a great oven and that's why we have darn good pizza....
The party who mentioned the difficulty of making dough at sea
level is correct. its tricky. at the Key Deer we have
experimented and its paid off. Anyone ever had pizza at the jersey
shore? It's super! Oh, by the way, I came down here for the weekend,
30 years ago..still here & lovin' and appreciating every minute of
it...
Thank you, Capt. Dan McLaughlin

Being a free spirited individual I am interested in
finding out more about the airline you posted February 10/04.
If you know of a person or contact that could accommodate my needs
it would be most appreciated. After all we are born nude and it
makes absolutely no sense that we should conceal what we were
endowed with, even though the endowments we have today are
substantially varied from those at birth. Could the airline be
"NUDE AIR" ? IE: If you've got it flaunt it.......

Plus, I never saw any of the writers saying Little Palm's food was

Ramrod or Summerland? |

Little
Palm Island has been recognized and awarded time and time again for
its food quality, incredible atmosphere and great service. In 2003,
Conde Nast Magazine ranked The Dining Room on Little Palm Island as
number 2 in the nation for best food. In 2004, Travel and Leisure
Magazine rated The Dining Room on Little Palm Island as number 2 in
all North America. Both of these awards were reader polls, meaning
actual past diners voted these results. There are many great
restaurants in the area and each of them stand out for different
reasons. Big Pine Cafe has a great menu and wonderful people. I like
the new look!!!!

Chicken Roundup. The Tourist
Development Council should sponsor a “Chicken Roundup” event to
control the chickens once a year. It would be fun, wacky and control
the chickens at the same time. you could have someone there to process
the chickens for food or ship them out of town (where they'll get
processed eventually.) that's how FantasyFest got started. With a
simple idea that blossomed into a big time money-maker for the City. |

The

website also has a broken link to the PDF page. I'm still attempting
to get to that Canal Water Quality Report. Can someone provide a link
that works? Can you e-mail the report to
cahillresidents@yahoo.com
?

Regarding the
"plugged canal report", it looks like it is actually a report on the
water quality of canals in general- not plugged canals.
This study looks like it is pretty thorough and comprehensive. It
seems that they found that sewage is getting into a bunch of our
canals.... gross!

Hi! I just wanted to let everyone know that if you
want a really great Italian meal you should try Farella's Village
Cafe in Marathon. Their address is: Gulfside Village 5800 Overseas
Highway, Marathon, FL 33050 Phone: (305) 743-9090 Open 8am to
10pm
I absolutely fell in love with their Baked Ziti for
$5.95 -- the bread was delicious. I recommend them to anyone
wanting a highly delectable Italian meal that is reasonably priced.
I told the waitress that they were soooo good that I
was going to tell everyone about them and that I would be putting my
kudos for them on your website.

Yesterday I heard two food editors
on Miami NPR talking about FooFoo food and they mentioned
Little Palm Island. They said that management probably made them
control the portions, those small decorative portions are an outdated
trend and that Little Palm had a captive audience so they could get
away with it. Try the Brunch buffet. |

Here are just a few of the symptoms of "Bird Flu"

Headache, sore throat, fever, aching muscles,
running nose, blurred vision
and an uncontrollable urge to screw on a tree branch.

Here is a site you can point users to get the
plugged canal report. I can't believe that you can't create a link
to a pdf file on your server. You seem to be able to do just about
everything on your site!!
Otherwise they can go to my own homepage and pick it from there:
http://mywebpages.comcast.net/gzasuwa/
I am storing the pdf file - the link below pulls it from my site.

Found Floating Through Cyberspace
A major research institution recently announced the
discovery of the heaviest element yet known to science, tentatively
named "Administratium". Administratium has one neutron, 12 assistant
neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons and 110 assistant deputy neutrons
giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held
together by a force called morons, which are surrounded by a vast
quantity of peons.

Regarding tiny portions: Of course
Little Palm’s buffet is a generous meal—that’s what a buffet implies.
I’m talking about their regular fare being embarrassingly small on
large plates. |

Just what the Jackson family needs - "More
Publicity". There are two things that come to mind - To my mind at
least.
1. "If you've got it Flaunt it"
2. "One the size of a football and the other's a
great big bastard".

66% of businesses fail in the first year
mostly due to having no written business plan and under
capitalization. People think they have a good idea and just jump into
business with no real plan except to make money. What a waste of time
and money. |

What’s the theory behind the
froufrou food served at Little Palm Island? They serve these
miniscule portions on oversized platters with some syrups splatter
around. I don’t mind paying the price, but I would expect to be
satisfied after I’ve eaten. The portions are so small it’s insulting.
I just hate when I have to take our out-of-town guests there. I get
embarrassed when the food is brought to the table in those oversized
plates; as I look around I see people’s expectations dashed when they
see the tiny portions. |

Politicians are the only people in the
world who create problems and then campaign against them. Have you
ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are
against deficits, we have deficits? Have you ever wondered why, if
all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, we have
inflation and high taxes? You and I don't propose a federal budget.
The president does. You and I don't have the Constitutional
authority to vote an appropriations. The House of Representatives
does. You and I don't write tax codes and set fiscal policy.
Congress does. You and I don't control the monetary policy. The
Federal Reserve Bank does.( A Foreign Bank) Remember this when you
listen to their campaign speeches. YOU AND I
CAN VOTE THEM ALL OUT AND NEVER LET THEM GET
A FOOT HOLD AGAIN.

Oh Pretty Please, some advice on the Army Corp.
How many of you kids are Waiting for permits
and why do they take so long? They're not doing
a very good job since I just read that many canals
are seriously polluted. Maybe just the Plugged canals.
The Keys are the most beautiful places on
the planet and we are Blessed to call it HOME.
